Thanks to a mainly healthy group of players, there is only the one fitness issue for the RKC Waalwijk boss Henk Fraser to contend with. Yanick van Osch (unknown injury) misses out for this game.

From our viewpoint, RKC Waalwijk might begin the game with a 5-3-2 system, settling for Mark Spenkelink, Julian Lelieveld, Roshon van Eijma, Liam van Gelderen, Faissal Al Mazyani, J. Familia-Castillo, Tim van de Loo, Mohammed Ihattaren, Yassin Oukili, Oskar Zawada and Richonell Margaret.

Our tip is for a convincing 3-0 margin for Feyenoord at the end of the 90 minutes.
